Ok. So I looked over you last posts from a while back and what you are describing sounds like Metabolic Bone Disease which is very common amongst reptiles. Some symptoms are bumps on the skin, not eating, throwing up, low activity, etc. You may have proper uvb and calcium supplements but there are many other things that can cause it. There are a few steps that you can take to try and save the little guy. http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/reptilesgeneral/a/metabolicbd.htm. That site lists all of the possible reasons that can cause MBD, and what you can do from here on. If you are still puzzled, you could try and take it to a veterinarian. If one really isnt available to you and you really care about the frilled, you could even sent it out to me and I will babysit it and take it to my reptile specialized veterinarian and see what he can do for it. It may be something as simple as a parasite problem that can be corrected quickly, but it really sounds like MBD to me. Hope I helped.
